As an Air Force veteran, I am no stranger to travel.      

Early in my military career, I got to travel for about a year as an entertainer, singing and dancing my way around the world...twice. The lessons I learned in that time have been priceless and invaluable to shaping the rest of my career and life.  

I consider myself a “creative” and "life long learner", and I am excited to use what I’ve learned from my own travels to help others expand their horizons, gain new perspectives & create lasting memories of their own.          

If you want assistance with bringing your vacation dreams to life, feel free to contact me, and may we all learn to "live to travel to live".

Why Try Solo Travel?

Solo Traveler at CoNexion 2024

In January of 2022, I took my very first solo adventure on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas out of Galveston, TX.  I was a little apprehensive at first, but because I love cruising so much and want to be able to cruise multiple times in a year, I needed to be open to the prospect of voyaging solo because it's not always possible for my friends and family to join me.

Well, all my apprehension quickly faded when I realized to travel solo can be one of the most rewarding ways to travel.  

Solo travel offers a range of benefits for enhancing both personal growth and overall travel experiences.  Here are some of the key advantages:

1. Self-Discovery and Personal Growth:

• Increased Confidence: Navigating new environments and overcoming challenges on your own can significantly boost your self-confidence.


• Self-Reliance: You learn to depend on yourself, making decisions and solving problems independently.


• Reflection and Introspection: Solo travel provides ample time for self-reflection, helping you understand yourself better and grow emotionally.

2. Freedom and Flexibility:

• Personalized Itinerary: You can plan your trip according to your interests and preferences without having to compromise with others.


• Spontaneity: There’s more freedom to change plans on a whim, allowing for a more spontaneous and adventurous experience.


• Pace Control: Travel at your own pace, whether you want to spend hours at a museum or take a leisurely walk in a park.

3. Enhanced Cultural Immersion:

• Local Connections: Traveling alone can make you more approachable, leading to deeper interactions with locals and a better understanding of the culture.


• Language Practice: It provides an opportunity to practice new languages more intensively as you’ll need to communicate on your own.

4. Mindfulness and Mental Well-Being:

• Stress Reduction: Without the pressure of accommodating others’ schedules and preferences, solo travel can be more relaxing and less stressful.


• Mindfulness: Being alone can heighten your awareness and appreciation of your surroundings, enhancing the travel experience.

5. Skill Development:

• Problem-Solving: Handling unexpected situations on your own improves your problem-solving skills.


• Navigation and Planning: You become better at planning and navigating new places.

6. Empowerment and Independence:

• Empowerment: Successfully managing a solo trip can be empowering, reinforcing your ability to handle life’s challenges.


• Independence: It fosters a sense of independence as you manage every aspect of the journey yourself.

7. Uninterrupted Enjoyment:

• Personal Interests: You can focus entirely on your interests and passions without distractions.


• Quality Alone Time: Enjoy the solitude and peace that come with being alone, which can be a rare luxury in everyday life.

These benefits contribute to a richer, more fulfilling travel experience, making solo travel an appealing option for many adventurers.  Ready to give it a try?  Contact me now to plan your first or next solo voyage.
